IMPROVEMENT 1N noLLs.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and malnng part of the same.

I, JACOB LACMANN, of the city of Philadelphia, in the State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain Improvements in Dolls, of which the following is a specication.

N atme and Object of the Invention.

Description of the Accompanying Drawing.

Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of part of a dolls arm, with the hand, having the inelastic flexible cores extending along from within the ends of the respective fingers and thumb into the palm of the hand.

Figure 2 is a full representation of the same arm and hand gloved.

General Description. The lead wires, which form the cores a a of the thumb and fingers, (see iig. 1,) are inserted Within the latter, the said cores being ont in sufficient lengths to leave respective portions of the saine projecting backward into the palm ct of the hand, which, with the arm B, are then stuied or filled with cotton, wool, or other packing material, in the usual manner.

Any annealed wire Vmay be used for the purpose of affording the inelastic iiexiblity; but, the lead wire being the most pliant, I prefer it for the said purpose. l

It will be readily understood that any of the iingers or thumbs of the doll` can be readily fixed in any grasping, open, or curved positions that may at any time be desired.

C' lat'm.

I claim as my invention- AThe inelastic iicxible cores au in combination with the iingers and thumb of the-hand of a doll, substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore set i'orth.

JACOB LAOMANN.
